WOW
Sorry, don't know how else I can describe this weekend.
I've never done laning like this, and this weekend was my first trip to Wales.............. I'm first on the list for the next one :lol:

Not to sure where to start, so here goes in no particular order.
First a huge thanks to Graeme for organising the weekend, and Sir Doris for sorting out the routes.
Secondly a big thank you to all in my convoy (rospicer, swini, & Trugga) for putting up with my breaking down truck.
Yep the truck broke down on the way there (kinda). I had a problem with vibration on it the weekend before which I couldn't trace, and after 200+miles the vibration had become very uncomfortable and the truck was making some very funny and worrying noises.
This is where my next thanks comes in as Sir Doris had a look and found a broken universal joint on the prop shaft and fortunately for me had a spare. A quick trip to his workshop and he fitted it for me. Phil, Thank you once again. I don't think you know quite how much you fixing that meant to me this weekend.

Here's a few of my favourite photos we took (I'll post up some vids later). Anyone interested can view them all here http://s668.photobucket.com/albums/vv43 ... =slideshow

One final thank you goes to everyone who was there and made the weekend the success that it was.
We really enjoyed ourselves and we can't wait to come back up and try things like the wayfairer and corwen carwash 8)

Hey Paul, I hope you caught the sunset over the Irish Sea on the last lane as I just remembered you cant see a sunset over the sea from your end of the country and you need to be up early to see the sun rise :lol:

Big thanks to your Mrs for getting the gates too 8)

We made it to the coast in time, but the sea was very misty so it wasn't as good as it could have been. :cry: Hope to see it next time 8)
